i pro-vement in Pachaging-ldachines, of which the following is a specification.

1n the United Sta tes patent for a packaging machine. Arantcd to Felipe Giroud June 1G. 1903 and numbered 890,976, mechanism was shown whereby a certain number of articles could be separated from a magazine during: successive operations of the machine and carried to mechanism whereby they were compressed into a compact bunch and scciued by an inclosing wrapper. The present invention relates to improvements on said patent. the object being to simplify said mechanism for compressing the articles and to provide a means whereby the incicsing wrapper can be applied without depending upon the articles to be wrapped as a foundation upon which to fold the wrapper.

The invention consists of a reciprocating plunger having forwardly extending plates at its forward end which serve as a carrier for the separated hunch of articles, and which take against and cause the wrapper to he folded-upon said plates during forvf'ard movement thereof between stationary wrapper folding plates and movable folders shown in said patent. The invention further consists of means for holding the articles during return movement of said forwardly extending plates. The machine is further provided with mechanism for completing the package in a manner different from that shown in said patent. I

62. The surfaces 80 are secured to the shaft l67 in such a manner that the surfaces travel .in line with side flaps of the wrapper 60,

`apply paste only to a limited part of the side flaps, as shown as a, in Fig. 6. The chut/e is out away on each side at 81, in order that the paste coated flaps will not come in Contact with the chute during travel of the wrapper down the chute. The wrapper comes to rest on supports 82, which cause the portion b to be in range with the bunch of cigarettes and the plunger extensions 58.

4The plunger 57 to which the extensions 58 are attached is secured to a carriage 83 adapted to slide in guides 84. Forming part of carriage 83 is a rack-bar 85, which is in mesh with a gear wheel 86 secured to a vertical shaft 87. Secured to vertical shaft 87 is a small gear wheel 88, which is in mesh with a reciprocating rack-bar 89. The purpose of making the gear wheel 88 smaller than gear wheel 86, is to enable short reciprocating movements of the rack-bar 89 to cause long reciprocating movements of the rack-bar 85, and the attached carriage 83 and plunger 57. The rack-bar 89 moves in guides 90, and has a lug 91 projecting from its under side which is connected by links 92 to one arm of a, bell-crank lever 93. Bellcrank lever 93 is Pivoted to the fixed shaft 20. The other arm of lever 98 is provided with a roller 94, which engages a cam 95 on shaft 7. The cam 95 is shaped to cause forward movement of the plunger l57 from the position shown in Figs. 1 and 5 to the position shown in Figs. 15 and 16. During this forward movement of plunger 57 the cigarettes also will be carried forward and the upper and lower extensions 58 of the plunger will force the wrapper against upper and lower stationary plates 96, there by causing the wrapper to be folded upon the plunger extensions At the saine time stationaryside projections 97 will fold the small end flaps c against a portion of the sides of the bunch of cigarettes. The stationary side projections 97 are provided with plate extensions 98, and the height of said project-ions and extensions is such as to permit'free passage of the side flaps a and (I, so that, when the plunger, cigarettes, and Wrapper reach the position shown in Fig. 1:5, the side laps a, d. Will overl'iang the plate extensions'98, as shown in Fig. 9. The upper and lower stationary plates 90, the side projections 97, 98, and hollow columns 99, form part of a trarne 100. which is cured to the table 9. That part ot the sta tionary plates 96 below and abovethe over hanging side flaps a, d, is cut away, as

shown in Figs. 1, 15 and 17, to permit vertical reciprocating movement of `folders 101 and 102. The lower folder consists o two upwardly extending blades 101, forming art of a `trame 108, havin hollow uprights 104, which tit loosely .within the hollow columns 99. v

\ By means-of links 105, the frame 103. is connected to an arm 106 which is pivoted on the fixed shaft 20. v T he arm 106 is provided with a roller 107 adapted for engagement xgith a cam 108 on shaft 7. The upper folder has blades 102 similar to the blades 101, except that they are separated to a slightly greater distance, and extend down- Ward from a lframe 109. Fixed to the frame Y 109 are rods 110, vwhich extend downward through the hollow uprights 104 and are connected at their lower ends by the crosshead 111. vCross-head 111 is connected by links 112 to an arm 113 which is pivoted upon shaft 20, and provided with a roller 114` adapted for engagement with a cam 115 by which it is operated.

Fi 17 shows the relative positions of the two olders 101 and 102 beforev the folding operations; and Fig. 18 their position at the time that the lower flaps d of the wrapper have been turned up and folded against the plate extensions 98 ofthe side projections 97. Fig. 19 shows the lower folder 101, as having returned to its original position, and the upper folder 102 as having turned the paste-coated upper iiaps a down against the upturned lower flaps d. During the foldinv operation above described, the plunger 5! remains stationary, but upon the folders returning to their original or inoperative portions shown in Fig. 17, the plunger 57, is, by means of the mechanism actuated h v cam 95 moved farther forward to the position shown in Fig. 20. This forward movement of plunger 57 carries the cigarettes and wrapper forward, and at the end of said movement, the upper plate extension 58, acting through' the Wrapper, takes against the projection 50 in chamber 51, thereby moving the sliding-bar 48 away from the shoulder 49 on plate 44, resulting in release and consequent quick movement of said plate 44 Jfrom the position shown in Fig. 15 to the position shown in Fig. 20. The plunger 57 is cut away at the rear of the cigarettes, to permit said movement of plate 44, as shown at 115 in Figs. 20 and 2l. During return.movement of the plunger 57 the cigarettes will be held by the plate 44 and the'wrapper will 'be held by the cigarettes during withdrawal of the plate extensions 58 from their positions between the cigarettes and the wrapper. Y

'lfVhe'n the plunger 57 reaches the position shown in Fig. 5, a box 116 containing paste 117 andcarrying a paste coated wheel 118., is moved downward to apply paste upon the -wheel is rotated during downward move' 20' all... a

wrapper of the'partia'lly wrapped package shown in Fig. 21'. The downward movement of bei; 116 is sufficient to cause the wheel 118 to move said packagedownward, causing the wrapper tlap shown inFig. 21 to take against an edge 119 of the lower plate 96, whereby said Hap is turned upward to` the position shown in lligs. and 11'. l

rlhe wheel 1.13 is secured to a shaft 120, .which journaled in the box 116 in such a manner that part of4 the wheel isin contact with paste 117 and part entends out through an opening 121 in the bottom. of tlieloox. The shaft 120 extends out through a side wall ot' the box, and upon the outer end ot said shaft is secured a ratchet wheel 122A which is engaged by a pawl 123 havinga series of ratchet teeth 12st, whereby vthe ment ot the box 116. The pawl 123 is pivoted at 12510 the table 9, and a'spring'l holds the pawl against the. wheel, s o that the pawl can swing 'away from theA inclined quently have no effect upon the w'l'ieel durinff'u ward movement of the box 116,v

'lhe bei; 116 is securedl to a vertical rod 121" having reciprocating movement' in a guide 12S. The lower end of the vertical rod 127 is connected' by'links 123 to an arm 130 whieh'is pivoted to "the tilted shaft Q0. 'A roller 131'von arm 130 engages a cam 132 by which the arm and its connections to said box 116 are actuated. @am 132 is so shaped that when a second `forward movement ot plunger 57 eauses'a second package to be moved'i'to the position shown in Figs. 15 and 16, the box 116 will be raised to the position shown in Fig.16. l/Vhen further forward 'movement ot' plunger 57 causes the second packageto be moved into the chamber 51,.

the lower plate extension 58 of the plunger, acting through the wrapper of the second package, will force said upturned flap e,

downward Aupon the pastefco'ated Aportion ot' the `irst named package, as shown inY Figs. 19. andQ'l. lllhen a second downward movex nient et the box 116 causesthe second pack- -ageto hemoved downward, the first package will thereby be forced further dowr ward, to rest in front of plunger 133.

Forming part fit-plunger' 133 1s a red 13a,

which. entends rearwardly and. is connected4 tothe reciprocating carriage 'lhc connection 135 to the carriage is' one permitting lost. motion or the 'rod 131, in order that the carriage may have fgreater movement than the rod, whereby said carriage is made servv iceablefor actuating the plunger v133 foi-nrA lng` part ol said rod.

Referring nowto Figs. 16, 20, and Q1,

it will'be seen-that when plunger 5i? moves from the position shown in Fig. 15 to that shown in Fig: 20, the plungers 523 on carriageQi will also have moved the cigarettes `from. the pockets in carriage 12 into the .channel 3C, and as a consequence, the rod 134 and plunger 133 connected to carriage 24- -will move the first package from the position shown in Figs. 15 and 16 to the position shown in Figs. 20 and 21.

:As shown in Fig.' Q1, plunger 133v moves a completed r package to rest upon a plunger 136A having'vertically reciprocating movements 'between a'stationary upright 137 and 'upwardly extending movable bars 133, which are connected by downwardly inelined links 139 to stationary uprights 14:0.

The plunger 136 has upwardly extending side platesv 1111, between which said package isA forced bymeans of said plunger .133. During return movement of plunger 133, the plunger 136moves the completed package upward between the upright- 132I and bars 133, and owing tothe action of said in- "clined-'links 139, the bars 133 will be moved away from the package, 'thus permitting free -upward movement oft' the package. teeth ol' the ratchet wheel, and conse'A When the plunger moves downward, friction or" the package against the bars 138 .will cause do vnward movement of the bars,

andthe inclined links 133 will consequently cause the bars to be forced against the package sufficient to prevent downward movement of the package.

succeeding paolo ages are moved upward, hy means et plun ger 133, the preceding packages will be moved higherup, partly by friction against endless ribbons 142, which are mounted on said side plates 14.1; il hen as the plunger 136 and the attached 'side plates 141 move downward, the vfriction of the bars 133 against the packages, owing to the action of the 'inclined links, will causel 'the packages to be held .up and movement of said endless ribbons 142 will permit said downward movement ot the side plates 141.

Vlrl`he plunger 13G has a` downward exten? sion 143 which adapted/tor sliding nievement .in guides 1st-4i.. Extension is connected kby links 145 to a leverl/lt, which is pivoted upon the fixed sha'tt Q0. liever 146 is provided with a roller l-ladaptcd "tor eu.- gagement with a cam 143 by ,which it is actuated'.
